DWO WhoCast episode 101

Posted: 31 Dec 2008 12:00 PM CST

A hearty Happy New Year to all the DWO WhoCast listeners. Hopefully you haven't broken too many of your New Years Resolutions just yet, and will be able to find the time to immerse yourself in the first WhoCast for 2009.

Please make welcome Marty Perrett, the new permanent co-host for the show. He joins Michael from the Tin Dog podcast and Trevor in reviewing the 2008 Christmas Special, The Next Doctor. See what the boys thought of the latest adventure from the pen of outgoing EP Russell T Davies.

The WhoCast also welcomes James Rockcliffe, special roving reporter/reviewer for the show. He also shares his thoughts on The Next Doctor. Keep an ear out for James over the coming weeks as he chimes in with his special reviews and insights.

The trio also looks through the WhoCast mailbag, and reads some letters about the possible casting of Patterson Joseph as the Doctor, as well as thoughts about David Tennant leaving the role.

And that's not forgetting the regular fix of news and opinions!

As always, more stuff in this episode that you can poke the proverbial left-over Xmas candy cane at.
